Hey DW. I'm doing some restoration on a maple Legend Drum... either 6.5 or 7 by 14". It's a vented snare (i know some of you cringe at the thought of that).. so i think it was a prototype of some sort. Either way it's really cool and unique to have.. a great shell from a company that was around for too short of a time.
I've been thinking about buying some wood hoops to pimp it out even further though. For a holiday gift I have the option of either Gibraltar Maple hoops or PDP ones. There is only a $20 difference between the brands. I've seen the Gibraltar ones (i believe Gretsch puts them on their snares) but not the PDP's.. Have any of you messed around with them?
Next i'll have to get a couple lugs.. it's a 20 lug drum, and i'll probably have to re-lug up the top 10 with new ones as some of the legend lugs i currently have are stripped and in shit shape. I'll keep the 10 that are OK and use them for the bottom side. Just have to measure up the spacing and pray i don't have to drill into the shell if i can get lugs to match the existing spacing.
